Oil News-fell off a cliff earlier

The top global suppliers of crude, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, plan to meet on Thursday to discuss reducing output, but several energy ministers have said they will do so only if the United States joins in with its own cuts. On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Energy, noting new monthly forecasts, pointed out that production is already dropping without government involvement. Any final agreement on how much the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, will curb output would depend on volumes that producers such as the United States, Canada and Brazil are willing to cut, an OPEC source said on Tuesday. OPEC+ has been curtailing production in recent years even as U.S. producers ramped up output to make the country the worldโ€™s biggest crude producer. U.S. crude production is expected to fall by 470,000 barrels per day (bpd) and demand is set to drop by about 1.3 million bpd in 2020, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said

Twitter CEO sets aside $1 billion in Square equity for charity, coronavirus relief

 

Square and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said he is donating $1 billion in Square equity to support relief efforts for COVID-19.

 

โ€œIโ€™m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief,โ€ Dorsey said on Twitter.

 

Dorsey said that, after โ€œwe disarmโ€ COVID-19, he will dedicate the money to universal basic income (UBI) and girls health and education.

 

โ€œWhy pull just from Square and not Twitter? Simply: I own a lot more Square,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd Iโ€™ll need to pace the sales over some time. The impact this money will have should benefit both companies over the long-term because itโ€™s helping the people we want to serve.โ€

 

Dorsey said that he wants to see the impact of his donation during his lifetime, and that โ€œthe needs are increasingly urgent.โ€ He also said he hopes it will inspire others to โ€œdo something similar.โ€
